Working together.

Hey. Sorry for not updating at all.

I’ve been going through a… creative rebirth as of late. And, really, I have no one to thank for that except Jessica. Now before you jump to the conclusion this is going to be nothing but some washed up romantic post, you’re wrong. We’ve decided to collaborate on yet another thing we have in common, and that is to create an original world and place familiar characters (our RP characters) into it, as well as a plethora of completely new ones we’ve been sculpting together.

For most of my life I have disliked the concept of working with others on something that I hold very dear to myself but I think that’s almost human nature. But some people just click on practically every level, and deciding to give this a try has been fantastic. We’re creating a world more in-depth than anything (I’ll speak for myself here) I could have ever imagined on my own… And we’ve barely scraped the surface. When we bounce ideas off each other, it’s natural. We’ve probably spent about 6 hours in the past two days brainstorming the main city and history and the only disagreement we came to was when it came to touching on the subject of getting the books published. At one point, we literally said the same exact sentence at the same time, word for word. I finally understand how a collaborative effort like, say, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, works.

When it’s not about picking at each others ideas, and there is a powerful flow of creativity, it’s bliss.

Yay.

All my classes are decent. And I like them because they’re set up so that I don’t have to worry about presentations and all that stuff. Just homework every once in a while, and mostly reading. There’s just so much walking to do. I mean, I used to run every day so it’s not that much of a problem but it’s just annoying that my classes are on completely different sides of campus. And my car is even further away. The only reason I’m really bitching is the fact it’s freezing out and the sidewalks are poorly cleaned off so I slip and slide everywhere. Bleh.

In other news, I’ve decided to quit Gmod comic making. Not like I did much of anything over the past months but I finally said it.

Hmmm.

I decided to install Windows 7 the other day, and start clean. Of course, I installed Half-Life 2, all the lovely counterparts, and Gmod… But I haven’t touched any of them.  And I haven’t installed Photoshop. I’m just burnt out on everything to do with comics, posing, editing. Or perhaps I’m not “burnt out” and I’m more “finished.” I can really motivate myself to pose… about five frames before I get horribly bored or frustrated. And the same goes for editing. Meh.

The beginning.

Back to classes tomorrow. Rough schedule. First class is at 9, followed by another at 10, and then I have an hour off at 11, and then another two classes after that. It’s gunna be hectic.

I like me sometimes.

Sometimes, when you share personal experiences with other people you learn that there are people out there that are… far more fucked up than you could ever imagine (I bet you were expecting me to say ‘much worse off than you’. WRONG). It’s both heart-warming to learn this and also a bit upsetting because such terrible people usually latch themselves onto the best, and the best are caring enough to put up with the horrid things that come from this.

Personally, I don’t give enough of a shit to put up with people like that. So I guess I’m somewhere between the best and the worst. Yay me!
